How much does our background influence how shameful or shameless we become? I've met quite a few people who are dealing with some level of shame in their past -- recovering catholics, societies where women can't vote or drive, cities where people of other races or faiths aren't encouraged to intermingle.
I grew up in the Southeast United States, where I was constantly told who I should be, what I should think, how I should feel, and with whom I could associate. Needless to say, I didn't always want to be those things, think that way, feel like that, or associate only with those folks. It caused a lot of confusion. Regardless of what I did, I was constantly "wrong".
When you're shameless, the concepts of right and wrong melt away in reference to your thoughts and feelings. Something that used to be "wrong" is instead viewed as "different". The beauty of being shameless is that you attract people with differences without feeling threatened, intimidated, or wrong. It leads to greater understanding of both yourself and the people around you.
Celebrate being different and unique and stop thinking that you're wrong. No one can bring you peace but yourself, so go ahead and be shameless.
"The dice of God are always loaded." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
